Electric power distribution systems, and particularly those with overhead circuits, operate radially but as the topology of the systems is meshed, therefore a set of circuits needs to be disconnected. In this context the ...

An experimentally validated control-oriented model that reproduces the most typical features of a laboratory proton exchange membrane fuel cell generation system, is presented in this paper. The proposed representation is ...

The structural health monitoring (SHM) systems based on electromechanical (E/M) impedance technique have been widely investigated. Although many studies indicate the reliability of this technique, some practical considerations ...

This paper presents experimental observation of nonlinear vibrations in the response of a flexible cantilever beam to transverse harmonic base excitations around its flexural mode frequencies. In the experimental setup, ...

The acquisition and treatment of strain data play an important role in various engineering applications, involving experimental stress analysis on a surface. Its operationalization, however, requires care and equipment ...
